What experience do you have ? What can you repair? Did you work for an appliance company before or just on your own tinkering? How many jobs have you done so far?

There are a lot of ways to start getting your name out there. First, get some professionally printed cards, maybe magnets, and flyers. I personally dont like ones you print yourself. For the price of cards, it's worth it. Start with your friends, then move on from there. Supermarket corkboards, corkboards anywhere you can post your cards. Blanket your area. This is good for cheap starting advertising. I took marketing classes and joined network groups when I first started, and these help greatly. There are so many marketing tools available now. I ran into a handyman this week, and he told me he was going to start repairing appliances like me. He told me that he watches U tube video's and feels what I do is easy. Hmmmm good for some jobs but to be a full flegded Tech you have to put in some hard work, sweat, and screw up and get stuck many times to learn how to service. So, let us know what your story is.

Well honestly Im just starting on my own I have an associates degree in electrical/electronics, I'm planning to design a website with go daddy and make some flyers through the website.also I've gotten some training manuals and a starting kit from uncle harry's workshop.I'm gonna order some car door magnets for my truck next week. I really want my business to work,and I plan on putting in the work to get it done but I hurt my back and I had to slow down for a couple months but Im back and better than ever and very motivated.

Websites don't really work well. You'd be better off getting on Yelp.com or AngiesList.com. Websites require that you advertise on search engines and you will be charged per click.

I just so happen to end up on Yelp.com and AngiesList.com because my customers put me on them. I didn't do anything and I didn't pay anything. That's how people find me. They look at all the positive comments and I get the phone calls.
